Answers prayers

 Walker is more than ready for this school year to be over.   Tomorrow is field day but there is a 80% chance of rain. This is the conversation we had over dinner.
 Me- Walker it looks like rain tomorrow so you may not have field day.
Walker- Hmm... well Mommy I need to have a talk with God about holding off on the rain.
Me- Its always a good idea to pray but it could still rain.
Walker- Mommy he answers prayers ALL the time and this one a really important. I think God knows that my brain needs a break from learning.

For the sake of EVERYONE that has to deal with Walker tomorrow. Please let the rain not come till later. Please Lord, that is my prayer.. AMEN

Helping out...... NOT !!!

Walker has a binder that gets either a smiley face or a sad face daily. Actually he gets two faces a day. That way if he has a bad morning he can turn his day around and get a happy face in the afternoon. Last week while Mrs Montes was out for the day he had a substitute. One who he has had before and knows her rules. Anyway she asked him to come work on something. He has no desire and apparently made a fuss about it. She told him that if it didn't get done she would have to sign his binder so that I would know. Well he then took it upon himself to get his binder and but his own smiley face. If you look closely at the picture you can see that there is a smiley face with a frown drawn over it. Well that is the one he made and then his substitute changed it. When we asked him why he did it, " he said well, she was very busy with all the other children and needed some help. So Mommy, I was just helping her. Its good to help people." After I left the room to laugh and then came back. I let him know that this was not the appropriate kind of help.

My Mom reminded me that in 2nd grade I forged her name when I note came home from school. My Mom's name is Beverly.. I signed the note Beberly.. haha !! I guess that apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I do love that boy so much ..
